Cisco

We’re delighted to announce we have been awarded the Master Reseller status by Cisco! Having launched the Multiplatform series of IP desk phones back in 2016, we have become the no.1 reseller in Europe, making us the optimal ITSP partner.

Thanks to our new accreditation, we will be bringing even more Cisco products to the Channel, including the brand new entry-level 6821 desk phone which we expect to launch early in the new year.

Acting as a replacement for the popular SPA range, the MPP series is designed to work with any 3rd party hosted and/or onsite platform – this includes leading platforms such as Broadsoft, Asterisk, RingCentral and Metaswitch to name just a few.

Simplify your deployments
With a range of services designed to simplify the deployment of CPE, you are safe in the knowledge that we have the tools and expertise to deliver the service you truly require. From automatic zero-touch provisioning, to remote device management, you can take control of your orders both pre and post deployment. Plus, with personalised branded shipping options, we can help you to ensure your customer experience is maintained through every step of the journey.

It’s been a busy month for the ProVu Team with numerous webinars and the Channel’s biggest exhibition, Channel Live. This year’s show was the second show to be held at the Birmingham NEC and we were delighted to be joined by Cisco, Gigaset, Sennheiser and Yealink on our stand. As always it was great to catch up with our partners, old and new.

In addition to our product-focussed stand, we also had the ProVu Pitstop where we had everyone’s childhood favourite, Scalextric on the stand. Throughout the two days visitors competed to make it on to the ProVu Pitstop leaderboard to be in with a chance to win one of four bottles of Champagne. Congratulations to everyone who made it onto the leaderboard and to our 4 Channel Champions!

If you attended the show, we hope you enjoyed it too – we look forward to seeing you again next year!

Part 1 – Configure the unit to start logging in ‘DEBUG’ mode and replicate the issue

Login to the web user interface and select the ‘admin‘ user. After selecting the ‘admin‘ user go in to advanced mode by pressing ‘advanced‘ on the top right of the screen.

Once ‘advanced‘ mode is applied press the ‘voice‘ tab and also the ‘system‘ tab. Once on the ‘system‘ page scroll down until you get to ‘Optional Network Configuration‘ and in the drop down box next to ‘Debug Level‘ set this to ‘DEBUG‘ and press ‘Submit All Changes‘.

Now that the phone is logging everything in ‘DEBUG‘ mode you need to replicate the issue.

Part 2 – Generating the log

Now the you’ve replicated the issue we need to export the log.

To do this follow the steps below:

Login to the web user interface as before using ‘admin‘ and ‘advanced‘ mode. Once logged in select the ‘info‘ tab and also the ‘Debug Info‘ tab. Once you are on this page press the ‘Generate PRT‘ button.

Once you press the button you will get a popup box asking you to enter the date and time of the problem as well as selecting a description. If your problem isn’t listed select ‘Other‘ and press ‘Submit‘.

After pressing ‘Submit‘ and allowing the phone to generate the file you should get another popup notification saying the PRT file has been generated and can be access from the phone directly. Press ‘OK‘ and download the file by clicking on the PRT file link across from the ‘Generate PRT‘ button.
